Sepp Blatter

For his failure to fully address racism in soccer, stubbornness to evolve soccer with technological advances (like goal reviews) and a laundry list of internal controversies while heading the world's most popular sport, one can see why Blatter isn't very well-liked.

Kyle Busch

Kyle Busch is that guy who tails you when he thinks you cut him off making a turn.

He'll flip you the bird as he passes you for going too slow.

Or he'll yell vulgarities your way because you don't know how to drive.

The problem is, Busch also happens to be going at speeds close to 200 miles per hour, so his temper, road rage and acceptance of being a villain is a little bit different than the one we all might be used to.

Jon Jones

It's never a good thing when your boss criticizes you for canceling a big-time event, but if you know anything about the relationship between Jon Jones and UFC president Dana White, you know White's more than hinted at this a couple of times.

On top of his alleged act over UFC 151, Jones also grabbed bad headlines for a DUI earlier this year.

Bobby Petrino

Bobby Petrino might not have the aura of someone like Nick Saban or Urban Meyer, but we guarantee if you made a trip down to Fayetteville to the campus of the University of Arkansas, you'd hear thousands of folks call him the ultimate villain.

John Calipari

So when he won his first national title this past season with the likes of more heavily recruited players leaving so early in their college careers, it was sort of a slap in the face to all the haters out there.

Love him or hate him, John Calipari looks to be changing the approach to college basketball.

The Entire Miami Heat Organization

Yep, you read that right. It's everybody that's currently employed by the Miami Heat who claim the title of a villain this year.

From owner Micky Arison to team president Pat Riley to, of course, stars LBJ, D-Wade and Chris Bosh, all the way down to the damn people selling tickets, it seems no one outside Miami likes this team.

We thought the hate would die down after they captured the 2011-12 title, but it seems that only added fuel to the fire, as everyone was rooting for upstart OKC during the series, and is currently hoping a team not named the Heat wins it all this year.

Penn State University

For all the humorous and lighthearted selections on this list, Penn State's rating as the No. 1 sports villain this year is well-deserved.

Without getting into details, the university's entire handling of the Jerry Sandusky case was pitiful, and it resulted in millions of dollars in lost revenue, a PR nightmare, a man in jail, a legendary head coach getting canned and a cloud of turmoil and sympathy for the victims.

NCAA athletic programs are always going to break rules and regulations, but what we saw at Penn State was nothing anyone could have ever imagined.
